Joseph Bonomi
From Graces Guide
- Joseph Bonomi, designed Temple Mill, Leeds, modelled on the Temple of Horus at Edfu in Egypt. To insulate the roof in order to ensure the correct humidity for flax spinning, a layer of plaster was covered with pitch. Earth was shoveled on top to prevent the pitch cracking and grass was seeded to bind the earth together. A small flock of sheep was kept on the roof to keep the grass down.
His brother was Ignatius Bonomi
